Apple is going to scan images you download too, not just ones you take with your camera. Leaving their ecosystem is way more important than just getting a standalone camera.
Oh... you just reminded me of the upcoming VPN service that will act as a proxy of sorts for internet browsing. If they do MITM HTTPS then they will basically scan evertything about you and your internet habits.
When did it became like that? Their only saving grace was that they were okay-ish with user privacy.
Sure, then let them play their authoritarian hand in attempting to follow through on that. Maybe at some point, it gets ridiculous enough that some critical mass of people get fed up and we are able to reverse course.
Nothing to hide right? As an otaku who collect figurines I can't wait to have the police knocking at my door because of a false positive triggered by a 1/8 scale statue of Megumin casting a fireball.
Cameras in the future are not immune to what we may see on upcoming smartphones. For example, Sony revealed an image processing sensor with compute capabilities built-in. It's able to not only send photon measurements but send metadata on what's being captured in the image. https://techcrunch.com/2020/05/14/sony-shows-off-first-combi...
Remember when scanners would allow you to scan banknotes, even those with a Eurion code?
I suspect we'll be seeing more of this kind of thing in digital stand-alone cameras. GPS-enabled? You just lost the ability to photograph demonstrations. Trademarked logos i the background? Maybe the shutter won't click.
The way it works is people report CP to a third party organization that fights CP. A hash of some sort is recorded in a central repository that is used by many services including every major social media company. Those companies then use it to delete/ban/etc users who post images matching those hashes. Generally, they also work with law enforcement.
In the current iteration they are not using AI or anything to identify "bad" content. They are matching hashes for files on on your device against known bad hashes/content.
I'm not trying to convince you one way or another about it, just clarifying what is happening.

This is misleading as these are not what most technical people would think of as a hash. These are "perceptual hashes" that can compute a distance, instead of a boolean equal/different, leaving space for false-positives instead of extremely rare hash collisions.
